backend of rv drags going up my dr.way

i added a leaf spring to mine. no more scraping

I approach/depart at an angle. It's the only way that works for me. Else, I gouge the street.

I have a 24' Born Free, rear bath...there is quite an overhang...distance from the wheels to the rear bumper. There are little wheels in the back. My driveway goes up from the road at quite an angle with little room to go at an angle...I have put ruts in the road. I have found that by inflating my tires to max, it has helped. I am going to Santa Maria to get my springs re-arched and another spring added. Hope it helps...this happens also going in and out of certain store/gas driveways.

The bumpers of all our campers would scrape at the point when the back truck tires were in the dip in the curb. Can't fill that in. Backing onto a couple of 2x10 planks and some 2x4 chunks under them for support solved the issue. They simply raised the dip between the driveway and the road for both the camper and truck tires.

Wheels mounted on the frame or solid bumper won't bother anything. Air bags may not help if you have lots of camper behind the rear wheels. Kind of a pit-fall with short wheel base to lots of camper.

thanks to everyone for your info..im thinking airbags. I have airbags now but only 50 psi....im thinking about going 100 psi...do you think that will work ? Thanks

I put air bags on mine with the on board compressor.
Simple push of a button and up she goes.
I got about 6" extra clearance at the trailer hitch.

I had to build up the lower part of the driveway to have a more gradual grade as the motorhome wheels went up it. Since it was an asphalt driveway, I took advantage of the situation and widened the driveway also.

If he is dragging his "C" while entering and going up his drive then filling in won't help unless you fill in the street. :)

The wheels and skids on the back of the RV may do more harm than good. They actually lower the point of contact which may put more upward pressure on the rear of the RV.

A better solution is to go in at an angle which reduces the apparent slope, kind of like going up a steep hill by walking across the face of the hill at an upward angle.

Another good solution is to use long planks laid in the driveway to extend the slope further out, thereby reducing the angle of the slope.

The best solution is to redo the driveway with a shallower slope, however that is mucho work and expense.
